Online?

I need some small screws for guitar machine heads... 3 or 4 gauge chrome if possible.

They have a range of little fasteners and tooling for building musical instruments.

Ta, this might work, requires a special driver bit.

This looks like the best so far.

Hi Cliff,

Long time no speak!

You could try Maton Guitars in Melbourne. They're generally very helpful. (I have a couple of their products!)
Either they could send you some or tell you where they get them I s'pose.
